Need some help choosing a Christmas tree? Experts say be sure to measure, pick a fresh tree and water it well. Got any tips that have worked for you? Ever made a "Christmas tree miscalculation?!" Feel free to share here!

I have had a Christmas tree miscalculation now as every body in my family knows i have really bad hand righting and i tried to right 11" but it came up 17" i don't know how but it did and so we got a tree that was 15" but with a 11" ceiling oh that was not to good we finaly got it in but we did not think we would put our Christmas tree there but it looked so good that is where we keep our tree every year now.
